My main reason for voting for McCain because
1. TRUST. Don't trust O.
2. TRUTH. He is more truthful than the O. I didn't hear him waver much from what he has been saying through the whole campaign, while O has changed his mind a few times.
3. AMERICA. He believes in this country and its freedoms. O wants to curb our freedom.
4. "MAVERICK". He does cross party lines and buck the system. O will vote specifically with the dems all the time,,, and I really hate the word Maverick.
5. SAFETY. He will keep us safer. O would rather talk. Talking gets you nowhere with the radicals in the world today. The radicals give their word and the next day will kill.
6. I believe he will TRY to cut government spending. This one is iffy since it depends on who runs the house and senate, but I believe he will try his darndest to get this done.
There are so many more reasons why I chose McC and those include those in the below posts.
The reason you couldn't get help now
Is because to many people are abusing the system.
I had a friend awhile back who was engaged with a baby on the way. Well, two months after the baby was born, her fiance up and left. Couldn't handle the responsibility of being a father. Anyways, he disappeared off the radar. Therefore, no child support (I'm sure you can all think of a few names to call him!) Anyways, she went to the welfare office to see if she could get some assistance. Now mind you she was still working full time, but at $10.00 an hour, she was making "too much".
The lady at the welfare office flat out told her because she was not a minority there is no way she would get assistance! I couldn't believe she said that!
Welfare was created for the single moms out there. Now the single moms can't even get it. Like I have said before, I have no problem giving to those who truly need it. Even with as little as I make I would still give anything I have to those less fortunate. But I will not give to those who won't do for themselves.
Where I live you see the abuse a lot. You see the government housing where one person has the house and they let everyone and their mom stay there rent free. Girls who have babies and let their drug dealing boyfriend stay in the house and use it as a place to sell drugs. You know that income isn't reported!
It saddens me that this is even an issue, but it is ridiculous to give to those who won't do for themselves.
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Anyone remember that??
I feel for you in your situation. You should have been one of the ones helped. Unfortunately, because of the backwards system we have in place, you couldn't get that assistance.
My reason for not voting for Obama...
he is going to raise DH and my taxes. Yes, we make a very good living through having a good work ethic, not living above our means and working for everything that we have. We have never had to rely on the gov't to give us a handout and we don't expect one. We put ourselves through school with loans that we paid back, we pay for our own health insurance, we paid for daycare when the kids were little, we didn't expect the gov't to give us a thing; we were taught early on that you work hard to achieve your goals and we have. I don't need a president telling my DH and I that we have to "spread our wealth" around to those less fortunate than us. WE decide who to give our money to and when. There will be on incentive to work hard if Obama is elected; laziness will be rewarded. We shouldn't be bailing out big corporations at all, nor should we bail out every homeowner who bought more than they could afford and now expect help. While there are some circumstances that do merit help such as medical reasons or job loss, most are due to financial irresponsibility on the homeowners part. The American Dream is out there if you work for it, but Obama will make sure if you acheive it you must carry someone on your back who doesn't deserve it.
Yet another reason why I am voting for Fred Thompson in the primaries...
he opposes a nationwide ban on abortion. He says it should be up to the individual states, put to a vote of the people, not decided by Congress (who would not touch it anyway or they would have already) or activist judges (who overturned a state law with Roe vs. Wade, which is unconstitutional and should be overturned...the only entity the constitution allows to make low is Congress either at state or federal level...NOT judges). The point being, THAT is the democratic, American way to do it. Let the people speak and let it stand. I am sure some states would allow abortion, others would not. But at least it is put to the vote of the people. Let us as individuals have choice also. There would still be places to obtain abortion if that is someone's choice, but if the majority of a state does not want abortion legal, they should not have to have it legal. That is what democracy is all about. Right? Why would any of you have a problem with letting the people speak?
As to back alley abortions...the numbers of those were very small in proportion to the number of abortions performed when abortion was illegal. Doctors did them illegally as well, under sterile conditions, and no one died. I agree, no one should have died, but women did have a choice. The babies are not given the same consideration.
And again...why is it so abhorent to some that women died from "botched" abortions, but not that unborn children are chopped up or have their skulls collapsed? A woman has a choice whether or not to subject herself to a "back alley" abortion. That child has no choice, no place to go, just to be chopped up or have their skull collapsed. Imagine that being done to an infant 3 minutes old, 1 hour old...being chopped up or having skull collapsed. Then would we call abortionists serial killers?
I just don't get it, how one is so horrifying and people are accepting of other based totally on "choice."
No offense, but if your father attended an abortion or two, especially a partial birth abortion...he might flip back to the other side. I doubt he would be able to forget those images either. I have seen the pictures. I know I will never forget those images.
just as i hope African American's aren't voting for Obama for that reason!
NM (i suppose that means "no more"? or something) im still a bit new to the board!
Yes...I'm voting for McCain.
From the beginning, I've always known I would not vote for Obama. His plans will not work. He will destroy small businesses with his taxes causing loss of jobs. His plans of taking from the rich to give to the poor will only enable the low-life scum we have in this country to remain lazy and worthless. His associations with certain individuals and his membership for 20 years to a church designed on black power and the hate of whites........I cannot trust this man to be the commander and chief. I do not agree with his plans for healthcare. I do not agree with his extremist view point on abortion. I do not condone gay marriage. I cannot under good conscience vote for Barack Obama. If we elect Barack Obama to be the president, we will sorely regret it.
So bash me as you will. Obviously, from posts below, this is a support Obama political board and should anyone differ......OMG....you should be thrown off of the board. You all have been sucked into this mainstream media love affair with a man that we cannot trust, a man who doesn't have the experience, and a man who promises change that he cannot bring. The one thing I can agree with Obama is this.....his campaign does give me hope.....it gives me hope that enough people get their heads out of their butts and John McCain wins this election and becomes the next President of the United States of America!!!!
Go McCain & Palin!!!!
I'M VOTING FOR MCCAIN
he doesn't condone KILLING BABIES!!!!!!
I take it you are voting for McCain.
nm
I am voting for McCain because........sm
1. I am against the FOCA.
2. I am against gay marriage.
3. I am against taxing the upper income bracket in order to redistribute that money to the lower income bracket.
4. I believe that McCain's 20+ years of service in the government and his leadership abilities and character as demonstrated by his actions as a POW give him more experience than Obama and that Palin's experience as a mayor and governor in Alaska give the Republican party's candidates the experience needed to lead this country.
5. I do not agree that Obama's past associations are what he makes them out to be. I believe that consorting with known marxists and, worse yet, actually seeing out marxist professors to learn at their feet is likely the single most dangerous part of who Obama really is.
There are more, but these are the most important points that make me favor McCain over Obama.
Well....McCain sure couldn't go after Obama in the media, even if he wanted to...
they are all in love with Obama, right down to the tingle up their legs. As to the vitriol on this board, it is easy to see where the mud is, and is not on the Republican side. Nothing of substance posted most of the time, and if it is and is countered by someone, then come the attacks. Just amazing that people living in the same country (and possibly the same town) hate someone because of their political affiliation. Geez.
The reason I believe McCain is that he has...
fought the earmarks and pork barrel spending throughout his career, it is documented. Even getting crossways with his own party because of it. When he is in a position of power to be able to actively do something about it with the veto pen, I have no doubt that he will do so.
Obama has said he would clean up lobbying and pork also. But he has not stated how he would go about doing that. He has no history of doing that.
That is why I believe McCain when he says that.
57% obama; still voting for McCain
Some things like abortion, death penalty and guns really aren't as important as my taxes and his spending of my taxes.
I'm an independent, voting for McCain. I have
nm
Voting for McCain too, even if I have little hope of
nm
If us McCain supporters were voting
purely on good looks.......there would definitely be something wrong with us because McCain ain't pretty. LOL! He has yellow teeth, that swollen cheek, and he can't move his arms. So obviously looks have nothing to do with our decision to vote for McCain.
I am voting for John McCain because
he is for smaller government and less government spending. He has more experience with foreign policy. He has been in the military and knows first hand what our troops go through. He won't raise taxes during an economic crisis. He won't tax businesses more which will help them survive and be successful therefore creating more jobs for Americans. He wants alternative energy sources which (once you get the crazy freaks who are environmentalists to shut up) will create even more jobs for Americans and keep money here in the USA instead of giving it to people who want us dead. I also in good conscience cannot vote for Obama because of his beliefs when it comes to abortion and gay marriage. I also believe that when it comes to party politics, John McCain will stand up to his own party if he doesn't see eye to eye with them and I just feel that is something Obama will not do.
This is excluding other feelings I have about Obama, particularly his associations that people refuse to see and acknowledge. One radical association is one thing, but Obama has many and I've always been raised to believe that birds of a feather flock together.
Well I had every intention of voting for Mccain
but when I walked in I all of a sudden saw the light and I couldn't control my hand. It went straight to Obama's name!
LOL Just Kidding. Of course I voted Mccain! I don't like to kill babies! :)
Another reason to vote for McCain
Gov. Palin said it in the debate and Biden admits to it. Four years ago Biden wanted Sen. McCain for his running mate.
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=73322
This really is not the reason I will vote for McCain
I, personally, do not think that the president can change anything where abortion is concerned. If he could, would it be legan now? Also, sometimes there are funerals for miscarriages and, certainly, people grieve for them.
I couldn't agree more! (SM)
How about Caroline Kennedy for his VP? It's definitely feeling "Camelotty" these days.
Remember the last time a US President chose the chooser of his VP? (Hint: They call him "Darth Vader.")
I couldn't agree more.
In my family alone I have German, Irish, and Indian. I'm your basic Heinz 57. I don't go around saying I'm a German-Irish-Indian-American do I. No....I'm an American. I'm proud of my heritage, but I'm an American.....period.
When it comes to the idea of a black president.....I'm all for it.....if it is the right person and Obama is not. I'm all for a woman president but Hillary most definitely is NOT the one.
I couldn't agree more sm
You know, it's amazing how a REAL person, a woman no less, is on the ticket!
It's nice to see such a down-to-earth, likeable person be able to be on this ticket and not be part of the Washington machine. Her husband has a blue collar job. How many other candidates in recent history have been able to say that about their spouse? She is a REAL woman, has a family with kids and gut instincts to boot. I just think the whole idea of having a take-charge, no-nonsense state governor who knows how to use her noggin would be great for Washington and congress!
I couldn't agree more . . .
You and I are a minority on this board with this radical thinking, but I for one am ready for someone who honestly wants to do the right thing for the people -- not putting money into their cronies pockets!!! It is beyond me that anyone after seeing the 2 debates in the last week would even consider voting for THAT TEAM!! They scare me beyond anything that I have ever imagined!! They are hate mongering, self-righteous, vicious, desperate dimwits who obviously have no clear-cut plan, but just mask their stupidity with hate-filled lies as a smokescreen for their ignorance. The truly intelligent people in this country see through that bull!
Couldn't agree more........

Couldn't agree with you more!!

I couldn't agree with this more!
Those two men are heroes and shouldn't have spent one minute in jail. Why did Bush allow this? (It's just another example of why I will be glad to see Bush go.)
I couldn't agree more - it's very sad
To see a country that I served in the Army to protect and service. That I've worked my whole live (since 2nd grade working on a farm and later on to other jobs). My parents/grandparents taught me values, respect, honor, and duty. All of it is being eroded away. Some slick laywer comes in and promises everyone everything. He stands and lies to their faces and they keep following him. It is true that they say they are like sheep because they follow with no thoughts of their own. People will say, oh this has to be approved by congress or that has to be approved. Guess what Congress is now controlled by democrats. They will pass anything and everything produced by the O. You've got mafia type people now advising the O. He's promised them all something and they are demanding it, and not only in our country but our enemies too.
It just sickens me to no end that we did kiss America goodbye, and just a little over 1/2 the country feels this is okay. I too want my country back. Now just have to think of new ways to survive through the next 4 years.
However, I'm still waiting to hear about the outcome of all the lawsuits that are being filed (there are many of them) and he has to comply by 12/1 (I wouldn't even have given him that long - that's too much time to try to falsify a document - again). It also disgusts me too that so many people demanded to see McCain's bc, but they were okay with not having to see the O's. Certainly a different country than what I grew up in.
I couldn't agree more...
...with your post. I am truly beginning to wonder what the point of voting is. Is it just to fool the "masses" into thinking they truly have a voice?
I think a lot of Americans adamantly didn't want any more Bushes and didn't want any more Clintons. I'm feeling somewhat betrayed by Obama and very unhappy with his appointments so far.
This isn't "change." This is back to the same corrupt regime.
I couldn't agree more, but I just...
...hope that some "homegrown terrorist" doesn't prevent that from happening and/or Bush doesn't find a way to declare martial law indefinitely. I just keep getting the feeling that something terrible is going to happen before January 20, something with Bush's fingerprints all over it.
I couldn't agree with you more. (sm)
I know what Vietnam did to my ex-boyfriend. It's not just something that goes away in a few months. It lasts a lifetime and can even affect future lives yet to be born.
Believe me, I share your anger, and I don't even have a relative who is in the military. I hope your son comes home soon, safe and healthy. My heart goes out to you, and if I could find a ((hug)) icon, I'd place it right here.
Well said...couldn't agree more!

I couldn't agree more!

Couldn't agree more. Also, . . .
it would be a wonderful cash crop for not only the obvious reasons, but all sorts of products can be made from the plant: Paper, textiles, and even biofuels are just a few.
I couldn't agree more.
I personally feel that we have a lot of divorced parents and kids being raised by single mothers and these family values, etc. aren't being taught. Kids see their moms and dads dating different people. Woman having kids with multiple different fathers and men fathering many children by different woman. This is what our kids see. What else do we expect these kids to be when they are exposed to this stuff. Some kids are taught that they can't be successful instead of telling them they can be anything they want to be.
I think that not only should good values, etc be taught at school but I personally feel that the parents need to wake up and realize some of the monsters they are creating here. Too many parents rely on the schools to teach their kids things that the parents should be teaching them. Why parents rely on schools to raise their children.....I will never understand that.
Then on the other spectrum you have the well off families who buy their kids everything they want without teaching them how to be responsible with money and these kids end up being some of the irresponsible ones we have to pay for because they were never taught to save money to buy stuff. Instead it is credit cards, credits cards......buy now and hopefully have money to pay later.
I couldn't agree more! (sm)
What now feels like a lifetime ago, when I was in my 20s and still had all my "plumbing intact," I had menstrual problems to the point where I became anemic from always bleeding.
I was divorced, NOT in a relationship with anyone, and my OB/GYN prescribed birth control pills in order to try to control my cycle so I wouldn't bleed so much to help with the anemia. I don't know what I would have done if some pompous pharmacist refused to fill my prescription for those birth control pills based on his/her PERSONAL MORAL (and IGNORANT) beliefs, but if this person had done so, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone away quietly, because by refusing to fill a legal prescription from my physician, this person would have unilaterally sentenced me to an unhealthy life. (My imagination stops somewhere between my jumping across the counter and placing my hands around this person's throat.)
I do have to wonder, though, what would happen if a self-righteous pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for Viagra, Cialis, etc. In fact, I think I'd buy tickets and popcorn to watch that one!
Very well said. I couldn't agree more!
.
I couldn't agree with you more on
this one, Kendra. If Obama truly wants to move on....then he should. There are dems who had their hands in this as well and surely it will come out as well. Pelosi is one who knew what was going on, even though she swears she didn't, and she never tried to stop it then.
I just think it is sad that our country is going after people who did what they did to save American lives and keep us safe. I would much rather see this effort going into the politicians and the crooks at some of these banks, etc. who got loads of money before these companies collapsed. What about the CEOs who walked away with millions of dollars right before their company failed and not only did we have to bail them out but they got away with loads of money. Why aren't we going after those guys? I would have more respect for our administration if they would do that, but I know they won't because too many people in our government got money from these same companies for their campaigns. Corruption....pure and simple. That is our government.
Very well said. I couldn't agree more.
couldn't agree with you more
wonder how long it will take obama to commit an actual impeachable offense. i believe he has such a rubber stamp in congress that he can ram through just about any social program, any tax hike that he wants and it will all be perfectly legal.
a politican campaigns with *2 chickens in every pot* promises. everyone knows he cannot deliver, but they vote for him anyhow, based on his stated intentions. then he finds that he cannot make good on most of his promises and there's some grousing among those who voted for him, but all is eventually forgiven. the situation we find ourselves in now is that he actually can make these promises come true, and it's a frightening prospect to anyone who believes in self-determination and individual liberty.
by the way, can we impeach a vice president? biden is such a loose cannon that it's frightening to have him in the position of vp. they need to keep a muzzle on him before he gives away the missile codes, or something. his latest gaffe, disclosing the location of the *undisclosed location* where the vp is sequestered in an emergency was actually a treasonous act. any chance he will be prosecuted for it?
on the other hand, ridding ourselves of biden would put pelosi *a heartbeat away* from the presidency. another frightening idea. what a pickle we've gotten ourselves into!
Couldn't agree more
They are really bringing a lot of support to their cause, aren't they? To gun someone down in church, I am sure that was what G-d wanted. Thou shall not murder, unless the person does something you don't like.
I couldn't agree more.
She was completely brain dead with no hopes of recovery whatsoever. Keeping her alive like that, in my opinion, is selfish. I think her parents were selfish in wanting her to stay alive like that. Sometimes you have to let loved ones go. My father was a DNR and when he coded in the hospital, we all just stood there because that is what he wanted. We let him go and although that was the hardest thing I've ever had to live through in my whole life, I don't regret doing what I know he wanted. It was his time and we let him go.
Well I have a brain and I'm not voting for McCain. That to me is a no brainer.
I guess I could go and pick out all the negatives about John McCain (there are plenty) while putting Obama on a pedestal and parading him around as though he is the second coming of Christ. For pete's sake. Looks like it took no brains to write this one.
Me too, and this Independent is voting McCain-Palin.
Was before the speech. Nothing changed. What is great about her is that she is everyperson. You can see her as your neighbor, chatting across the breakfast table. Regular people can identify with her. She is not a member of the "Washington cocktail circuit." She has been there, done that. She is a true reformer...thinks that politicians should not have planes, chefs and chaffeurs on the people's dime. I am tired of elitist politics as usual. I think she will have a very positive effect on Washington.
That being said, she is the #2. McCain has it hands down as far as national security is concerned. He won't tax us into oblivion, which will not help the economy, it will just make it worse. You cannot continue to put ALL the tax burden on the people who provide most of the jobs in this country. That makes absolutely no sense.
He has what she lacks; she has what he lacks. Win-win.
Definitely voting McCain-Palin. THAT is the change you can believe in.
And you my dear are one of the top reasons I'm voting for McCain
Backwards thinking is those people like yourselves who won't admit that your candidate has flaws. Truth is he has more flaws than McCain. - you know is it too much to ask to get his name correct. I know people think its cute to put Mc in front of other words, but the guy was a vietnam war hero. He deserves the respect. Otherwise we can go on down that road and start putting names at the end of Obama's name (Ono, Obrother, Oliar, Osocialist, etc. The names could go on and on), but at least the conservatives are respectful of the candidates.
As for his age, then you can say do we realy want someone of Biden's age to be one heartbeat away from being president, after all anything could happen to Obama. (don't go down that road unless your ready for the mud).
Obama is a radical. Sure he wants change - but change for the worse and for everyone else except he and his 1% rich friends. I'm sorry but I don't want to live in a socialist country where our health care is now been socialized. I had it with being in the poor house the last time we had a democrat president. Truth is looking at Obama is more like voting in Bush again. Obama and Bush have agreed on stuff and this bail out plan is one of the biggest. The people who own Obama are the same people that own Bush. The same people that are telling Bush he better fix it because they want their money are the same ones who are running Obama telling him he better vote for it. If your going to link anyone to Bush you should link Obama. McCain has always been in the middle. You can stop spreading the lies that they voted the same cos they didn't. McCain has gone against both dems and pubs.
So irresponsible is voting in a new guy with no experience who is going to raise your taxes, socialize our health care, all while trying to convince us is the patriotic thing to do by having the government steal our hard earned money so they can give to the poor less advantaged individual. So now instead of working 60 hours a week to make ends meet you are going to have to work 80 hours. Cripes, when are you going to sleep? Let alone any relaxation time. Under the Clinton years my tax bracket was over 40% and even that wasn't enough cos at the end of the year I had to take out a loan to pay the extra $2500 that I didn't pay throughout the year. Each year I kept having them take out an extra $40 per paycheck over what was normally taken out and I still got socked with having to pay extra every year.
You want someone who is going to destroy the military so our country will not be safe anymore like Clinton did, then by all means vote in Barack OBush
Glad to hear you are voting for McCain!
I was referring to the fact that Obama supporters cannot accept the truth of his policies, they just want to ignore them and argue. Ignore the message and beat up the messenger. The issue is not about how the OP paid her employees, it is how Obama's economic plan is going to change her business.
Voting McCain, and still a Hillary supporter...nm
I'm voting McCain partly because he is the lesser
of two evils. I am not voting for Obama because I am completely pro-choice and completely against gay marriages. I know people who have had abortions and I know who people who are gay. I hold nothing against them, but I can't with a good consicence vote for someone who believes these 2 major things are okay. I am by no means judging anybody for their choice of lifestyle. I personally just think it's wrong. Also, being of the pentecostal faith, I am happy that Sarah Palin (also of the pentecostal faith) was chosen as his running mate. I'm simply voting with my conscience.
Oh Lurker, I couldn't agree more!
Something wicked this way comes, and we are in the middle of it. Oh yeah, I have been likened to Chicken Little, the sky is falling, blah, blah, blah, but I am cognizant of the falsities this administration would like us to believe, and although I am of average intelligence, not presidential material, am educated enough to know that they, WHOMEVER THEY ARE, were going into a HORNET's NEST in IRAQ, also going to make more TERRORISTS. Also, with my average intelligence, I knew enough to know that Hussain was keeping his people under control, and that NO terrorists would be stupid enough to make trouble or reside in Iraq. He was master. So he killed 30,000 people, maybe a little more. How many have the BUSHWACKERS KILLED!? Yes, of course, I'm upset with him and his cronies. He has made AMERICANS LOOK STUPID, DISHONEST and MURDEROUS and no more humanitarian, maybe even less so, than Saddam. At least Saddam had his reasons to kill his people. What are HIS reasons for the killing? Have not heard any that make any sense! That is my take on the whole thing. Plus the useless FEMA of the Katrina disaster, and on and on and on. No time to spell it all out.
D@mn skippy!....couldn't agree more!
I couldn't agree more with your opinion
seems like it makes him almost the perfect president to be able to understand and empathize with a much wider range of American citizens than any president before him. He's inclusive, not exclusive, and he's certainly more tolerant than many posters on this board, thank GOD!
Voting for McCain-Palin. Not reading any more hate
